Mcconaghy House Teacher Packet Contains Historical Information About the Mcconaghy Family, Surrounding Region, and American Lifestyle 1 WELCOME TO THE McCONAGHY HOUSE! Visiting the McConaghy House is an exciting field trip for students and teachers alike. Docent-led school tours of the house focus on local history, continuity and change, and the impact of individuals in our community. The house allows students to step into the past and experience and wonder about the life of a farming family. The McConaghy House is also an example of civic engagement as the community mobilized in the 1970’s to save the house from pending demolition. Through the efforts of concerned citizens, an important part of our local history has been pre- served for future generations to enjoy. The McConaghy House Teacher Packet contains historical information about the McConaghy family, surrounding region, and American lifestyle. Included are pre and post visit lesson plans, together with all necessary resources and background information. These lessons are not required for a guided visit but will greatly enrich the experience for students. The lessons can be completed in any order, though recommendations have been made for ease of implementation. We welcome comments and suggestions about the usefulness of this packet in your classroom. An evaluation form is enclosed for your feedback. Thank you for booking a field trip to the McConaghy House. We look forward to seeing you and your students!

Aztec dancers during the Days of the Dead Celebration, 2010 Our geographic area We represent the region of the greater Hayward area which includes Hayward, San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, Cherryland, Fariview, Mt. Eden, and Ashland. Our Properties 1. The Downtown Museum located at 22380 Foothill Blvd 2. The McConaghy House, located on Hesparian Boulevard, is owned by the Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District (HARD) and managed by HAHS. The 1888 farmhouse is open for public tours –check haywardareahistory.org for more information 3. The Meek Estate, located on Hampton Road in Cherryland, is owned by HARD and managed by HAHS. HAHS is restor- Meek Mansion ing the Estate to its former glory in preparation for opening to the public. 4 History is the study of the past. Through history we examine how, where and why people lived in a given location at a given time in the past. Studying the past and looking at how and why changes occurred over time gives us a better understanding of ourselves and how we live, work and play today. Museums are places where objects of value are stored and displayed. This value does not need to be monetary and is more often historical, aesthetic, personal, or scientific in importance. Historical societies and museums collect objects so that we can learn more about the past and present, and they share this information with the public through exhibits, tours, and programs. Museums are able to tell stories through the use of primary source materials. According to the Encyclopedia of Local History: A primary source, in handwriting , voice, materially, or print is one created contemporaneously with an event or later by witnesses to an event or an era. This is a material by which history is known. A secondary source is one that is conscientiously created to record or explain the event, person, trend, or place using all available material, including primary sources. Examples of primary sources include: Objects/Artifacts: Tools, clothing, household items, tombstones Images: Photographs, film, video, e/digital, fine art Audio: Oral histories, interviews, music, audio recordings A hat from the HAHS Collection Statistics: Census data, land surveys, maps, ordinances, blueprints, architectural drawings Text: Journals, letters, diaries, documents, newspapers, cookbooks, advertisements Community: Family photographs, memorabilia, souvenirs, recipes, oral histories, genealogical information, sheet music Physical surroundings: Bridges, buildings, homes, parks A photo of Hayward Union High The McConaghy House and collections offer countless examples of primary source materials for historians to use. It is a pristine example of a 19th century farm house, providing examples of architecture, molding, wallpaper, and carpeting. The collections, while not all from the McConaghy family, are confirmed as period-appropriate pieces ranging from approximately 1880 to 1930. Most of the objects in the McConaghy collection have been donated by private, local citizens who were interested in historic preservation, while others are on loan from other museums and private individuals.

The nets are a fine mesh, nearly invisible, but flexible and fine enough so that when a bird flies into them, it is held safely, ready to be carefully removed by hand, placed into a small cloth bag to calm it, and tucked under a jacket or shirt to keep warm for the walk back to the station office. There it is weighed, measured, evaluated for health and either banded, or if already banded, logged, and then carefully released.
